Ethics are often taught in absolutes when, in reality, critical thinking is necessary to effectively navigate the applicable standards and subsequent dilemmas that may arise in practice. One apparent example is when professional roles and boundaries begin to blur. Understanding ethical decision-making processes is paramount to informed practice and to reduce the risk of harm to clients, colleagues, communities, and the profession. This training encourages practitioners to intentionally reflect upon and proactively respond to ethical issues involving professional roles and boundaries.

Join us for a Facebook Live with political and homeless experts to discuss to discuss rising authoritarianism in our nation, a recent presidential executive order that cracks down on homeless people, what social workers should know about these issues, and how they can respond. Hosted by NASW President Dr. Yvonne Chase.
